Wow I can’t believe that Napket is coming to Kuwait..this just shows us how Kuwait is really up to date with recent hits from cosmopolitan cities such as London.

Honestly Napket is much more avant-garde and fashionable than Pret-a-manger (I am sure many will agree with me if they know both concepts). I believe Napket will be successful in Kuwait since its core concept takes the usual coffee paper café concept to a much more luxurious and gourmet level (it is not starbucks..and not caribou..not Costa or 2nd cup but more like a paper cup café with a boutique feel to it..this is why the concept ironically has its tagline as “SNOB FOOD” ) and Kuwaitis seem to dig this kind of stuff 

pret-a-manger is good for quick bite but not for a gourmet sandwiches& salads.
When i went to napket last month i felt like a kid in a sweet shop i couldn’t stop looking around :p It is supper stylish, and the food is fresh & light so you don’t feel guilty at all. i went with my wife who thought it was a fashion boutique lol & it ends up that it is a cafe-boutique style, my wife was on diet (in fact always in diet :s ) so she ordered a watermelon juice & an exotic salad, i ordered a chicken sandwich & mashroom soup .. also what attracted her attention the cutlery they were different! Not to mention that she liked the chandelier as well and tried to take a photo but the waiter stopped her becuase its not allowed :/ i couldn’t try the ipod because the seats with ipos were limited.
Definitely going to try napket on saturdays.

We have a million cafe/restuarant/cookie/cupcake/sweet/food joints in kuwait that are made and invented by our own young q8ys and some of them are pretty good. Some of them can be franchised abroad aslan! not to mention the rest of boutiques/stores/online stores… so people in kuwait do not lack creativity in any way. in fact they are so brimming with creativity they sometimes go overboard. So many copycats though.

Yet i am still happy to see places like Haaggen Dazs, D Lush, napket, Mcdonalds, Starbucks, and maybe one day pret a manager because are very special and just different.

But i think napket lel asaf will be filled with pretentious people dressing up to the nines to drink a coffe and stare at each other. Not a place for peace and quite where you plug your ipod and get lost in your thought in peacful stylish surroundings and yummy food. Maybe when another habba place opens after it it will finally become peaceful…

People don’t buy franchises because they lack creativity. You need more then just creativity to be able to open and run a business successfully. There a ton of advantages to buying a franchise. In Kuwait its usually because people love a certain place in London or the States and they want to share it with people back home. I think thats a great thing.

Why franchise? is it rocket science ? are people lacking creativity these days ? Do you think that anything “western” must be very difficult to do because you are inferior beings ? Snap out of it people !

I am extremely flattered that someone came up with the idea to open NAPKET in Kuwait. It brings home the memories of London coziness and warm indoors. It is one of my favorite places to kick back and relax with a nice cup of hot chocolate and a melted cheese sandwich. Their food is gourment style tasty light sandwiches, fresh salads and delicious mouth watering desserts.

I applaud the members of this idea and wish them the best of luck. I know for sure that I will be at NAPKET every weekend listening to my music and having a peace of mind.

I love their food although i like pret a manger as well but i think its wrong to compare it with napket coz the concept is different.
Just question are they going to install ipods like napket in london?
Can’t wait, please update us when it will open.

Thanks mark for this amazing blog.
